Plurk Launches Campaign '08 Features

Plurk, the micro-blogging service which received a lot of buzz earlier this year, is pulling a Twitter and launching “Plurk the Vote”. According to the press release, “Plurk the Vote provides a platform to share political beliefs and discuss in real-time the key issues that will decide the 2008 Presidential election. Registered Plurkers hosting their own mini-election during Plurk the Vote also have the chance to win $5,000 in prizes for the most lively discussion and participation.”

The service is similar to the Election 2008 product rolled out by Twitter last month in that it parses through “plurks” (the equivalent of “tweets” on Twitter), and filters out those messages related to Obama, McCain, Joe Biden, and Sarah Palin.
